Get Better Muscle Pumps with HMB, Glutamine and Arginine
Better Pumps with HMB, Glutamine, and Arginine
HMB, glutamine, and arginine are traditionally thought of as "post-workout" supplements that enhance recovery and prevent muscle soreness. Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, or HMB, that has been shown in multiple studies to help improve both their strength and muscle mass. L-Glutamine is known to enhance immune function and surgery patients and trauma patients often recover more quickly and comfortably when taking L-Glutamine supplements. Therefore, during catabolic states such as exercise, glutamine is released from skeletal muscle into the plasma to be utilized for maintenance of the glutamine level in other tissues. Arginine is a precursor of nitric oxide and enhances GH secretion which may lead to an increase in muscle mass and strength.
Although traditionally termed as "post-workout" and "recovery" supplements, according to scientists from the University of Alabama, they will also help with getting better pumps in the gym. Vascular endothelial function declines with advancing age, due in part to increased oxidative stress and inflammation, and this age-related vascular dysfunction has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Researchers found that a combination of HMB (beta-hydroxy- beta-methylbutyrate), glutamine and arginine increased blood flow by 27% in older adults when taken pre-workout.
The study recruited 31 men and women aged between 65 and 87 to participate in their randomized, placebo-controlled trial. The researchers wanted to examine what happened to flow mediated dilation of arteries (i.e. a measure of vascular function). The participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups:
One group received 3  g HMB, 14  g glutamine and 14  g arginine per day;
the other group received an identical flavored placebo.
At the end of the study, six months later, the researchers found that blood vessel flow increased in the HMB + glutamine + arginine group, whereas the placebo group had no effect.
This is one of the first studies to show that a combination of amino acids such as HMB, glutamine, and arginine combination could increase blood flow. The researchers hypothesized that the combination of supplements taken together could reduce oxidative stress and inflammation which would lead to improved blood vessel health. The researchers also suspected that the well-document effects of arginine enhancing nitric oxide production also probably played a significant role in the increased blood flow results.

ABC's Robin Roberts has blood, bone marrow disorder
June 12, 2012 in Health, News, Statewide News, Top Stories
By Monica Land
NEW YORK – Mississippi native and "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts is facing a new medical challenge that will require her to start chemotherapy and get a bone marrow transplant.
The veteran journalist – who battled breast cancer just five years ago – announced on the ABC show Monday morning that she has been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, a blood and bone marrow disease once known as preleukemia.
In a statement, Roberts said "sometimes the treatment for cancer can cause other serious medical problems," and she will undergo chemo and a bone marrow transplant this year as "pretreatment" for the disease.
Roberts, who grew up on the coast in Pass Christian, said she's known about her condition for months.
"I received my MDS diagnosis on the very day that Good Morning America finally beat the Today Show for the first time in 16 years. Talk about your highs and lows!," Roberts said in a statement. "Then a few weeks ago, during a rather unpleasant procedure to extract bone marrow for testing, I received word that I would interview President Obama the next day.
"The combination of landing the biggest interview of my career and having a drill in my back reminds me that God only gives us what we can handle and that it helps to have a good sense of humor when we run smack into the absurdity of life, she said."
Roberts said her sister, a news anchor in New Orleans, is a great match for her.
"Bone marrow donors are scarce…particularly for African-American women, she said. "I am very fortunate to have a sister who is an excellent match, and this greatly improves my chances for a cure."
Roberts – referring to an earlier interview with Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg – stressed that organ donation is vitally important.
"Many people don't realize they can be bone marrow donors," she said. "I encourage everyone to sign up on a donor registry like bethematch.org."
Roberts began her pre-treatment-chemotherapy Monday in advance of the bone marrow transplant later this year and said she'll miss a day "here and there" and "a chunk of time" for the transplant recovery. But until then, she said "going forward, it's business as usual at Good Morning America."
"I've been living with this diagnosis for awhile and will continue to anchor GMA," she said. "I love what I do and the people with whom I do it…which means I'll be right here every day…My doctors tell me I'm going to beat this -and I know it's true."

Architectural Transplantations
The Living Matter Of Architecture
CENTRALA's growing collection of architectural elements from demolished modernist buildings is a repository of forms and technologies from the post-war time of shortages, 2016–ongoing
collectors: CENTRALA
custodian: Aleksandra Kędziorek
Limited availability of building materials, access solely to domestic technologies and prefabrication developed through makeshift efforts—this is the shared vocabulary of Poland's post-war architecture. Nevertheless, it allowed to construct buildings whose forms and spatial solutions were often unique.
Terracotta available in just a handful of colours, mosaics from factory waste, terrazzo floorings, laminated boards, characteristic grooved aluminium panels on the façades, bars and railings whose metalwork resembled crude steelwork. These elements, due to their semi-handmade production methods, are impossible to be copied nowadays. When a post-war object is saved from demolition, its renovation is usually connected with replacing old materials with modern ones. New materials are devoid of the aura of authenticity. Once introduced into a building, they completely change its expression.
Most of socmodernist buildings fell down after the accusation of their poor technical condition. Relying on the limited palette of materials made with semi-artisanal methods that only imitated mass-produced building components, they are indeed difficult to renovate with contemporary products. However, the same elements can be found in other buildings from the same period. Materials form a shared vocabulary that defines those buildings as the subjects of the same species. Such affinity opens the field for architectural transplantations—by donations of material tissue, defunct socmodernist buildings can save their architectural relatives.
In Warsaw, where the appreciation of whatever is left from post-war modernistm falls behind the speed of changes in the urban fabric, extending the range of architectural transplantations to cover other cities may become a way of repaying Warsaw's architectural debt. The reconstruction of Poland's capital after WWII was possible largley due to transports of bricks from ruined historical monuments from all over the country, espacially from the socalled Recovered Territories in the west. Now the debt can be repaired—elements of constructions that couldn't be saved from demolition may contribute to sustaining the lives of modernist objects in other cities—and thus symbolically survive, although outside Warsaw.
Meticulous inventorying, documentation of architectural details and,when demolition becomes inevitable—depositing fragments of the building in other constructions seems to be better than losing these constructions forever. Even after being separated from the original building, its elements retain the memory of the place, and having been transplanted onto other structures, they may save the lives of surviving members of the architectural family.
Curtain wall construction post

Since Walter Gropius' projects, such as the Fagus factory in Alfeld or the Bauhaus school in Dessau, wall made of curtains have often come to symbolize modernism. Devoid of any load-bearing function, they serve as thermal and functional partition and provide interiors with daylight. In communist Poland, it was difficult to build them due to material shortages. For this reason, in Polish post-war architecture the skeleton of the glass elevation was often made from flat bars, which made it possible to create imitations of curtain walls in spite of the small size of the glass panes.
Acoustic and aluminium panels

Acoustic panels made from hardboard and gypsum and covered with oil paint were laid on ceilings in order to ensure the proper acoustics.
Grooved aluminium panels were often used to finish the elevations of modernist pavilions. Placed one next to another and linked by tongue and groove joints, they constituted a continuous frieze that highlighted the divisions of the elevation. Until recently, similar panels could be seen on the elevation of the Emilia pavilion (demolished in 2016); they are still visible on the building of the headquaters of the Association of Polish Architects in Warsaw (SARP) or the Auditorium of the Faculty of Chemistry of Wrocław University. It's usually enough just to clean them in order to restore their old splendour.
Train station clocks

Train station clocks were produced by thxe A-6 Precision Instruments Factory in Szczecin, a state-owned plant opened in 1960 as part of a programme of professional activation of women in the Western Borderland. Their characteristic faces used to be a permanent feature of Polish railway stations. However, as the stations are renovated, these interesting mechanisms with a graphical appearance are gradually replaced with digital clocks.

The recently demolished Emilia pavilion in Warsaw, whose main asset was its spatial embedding in the unfinished project of the so-called West Wall and the nearby housing estate, boasted many interesting material solutions. Among them was the floor. Its tiles were made from light cement and mostly white grit. Consequently, the floor reflected light and illuminated the interior of the pavilion.
Glass bricks

Glass bricks, used for building or filling in walls and ceilings or as decorative elements providing interiors with daylight (due to their light transmittance of up to 60%), were made in several shapes, most often square (like the ones presented in the Chemistry Auditorium) or circular. As a building material, glass bricks were fixed together in a way similar to ordinary bricks, with mineral wool used to fill in the joints between them. In some projects, they were cast into a reinforced concrete gridwork.
Terracotta tiles mosaic

Mosaics consisting of terracotta tiles were often used as finishing material in the modernist architecture from the mid-1950s to the 1970s. Available in just a handful of colours and sizes, they were used to finish elevations, walls and floors inside buildings. A similar mosaic constituted the décor of the Chemistry Pavilion (demolished in 2008), the Supersam (demolished in 2006) or the Hungarian Trade Agency, which is deteriorating in Warsaw.
The research was first presented as a competition entry by CENTRALA for the Taking Buildings Down competition organized by the Storefront for Art and Architecture, 2016.
The concept was tested for the first time during Survival Art Review (23–27 June 2017) when the collection was introduced into the building from the same period—the Auditorium of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Wrocław University of Technology—as temporary spolia. The presentation entitled Post-war Modernism Album was based on subtle interventions in the architectural fabric of the auditorium. with use of original components such as the Emilia pavilion in Warsaw or Warsaw-East railway station, which constitute a repository of knowledge about the material dimension of a vanishing architectural layer of Polish cities.
The collection was first presented in the ephemeral Institute for Spatial Management (noteworthy) in frame of Synchronicity 2016: Unbalanced Architecture (27 November–16 December 2016) organized by Bęc Zmiana Foundation.

Sleep is a vital factor toward our well-being, but within the last 50 years Americans have reported a 1.5–2 hour reduction in sleep per night. Modern life continuously devalues sleep; our increasingly busy lifestyles are leading to widespread sleep deficiencies. At the same time obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases have skyrocketed. Are you one of those people who are always tired? Is your life just too busy to fit in a good night's sleep?
Here's an overview of what happens metabolically throughout a good night's rest. While we sleep, our metabolism, breathing, digestion, heart rate, and movements all decrease so that our energy needs are much lower. In turn, blood sugar levels remain relatively stable throughout the night. If individuals are, on the other hand, kept awake while fasting for about the same time frame, blood sugar levels would fall significantly. Our metabolism reflects our energy requirements while we're either awake or sleeping; it appears to follow diurnal rhythms. Sleep is a necessity in recovery; when we don't get enough, our health will ultimately suffer. Research indicates a strong relationship with sleep deprivation and, in addition to cognitive function, chronic diseases.
Shortened sleep can result in weight gain, which can then interfere with sleep; a vicious cycle is created when we miss out. Sleep deprived individuals reportedly have a 35% greater chance of gaining more than 5kg over the course of 6 years. There are so many of us out there who just keep gaining weight year after year. While there's obviously a number of things causing this weight gain, sleep is likely one of the factors. Lack of sleep (less than 6 hours per night) alters our metabolism in profound ways—the end results are dramatic: insulin resistance, decreased energy, enhanced appetites, and damaged immune systems. What does that mean? Weight gain and chronic disease!
Why would our bodies have a worse glucose tolerance following a restless night? Well, let's look at this through an evolutionary perspective. Our ancestors would have likely remained awake when there was some kind of threat; in this respect, a heightened glucose availability state would have been an advantage. Appetite stimulation would have resulted in an increased food intake which meant more energy and so on and so forth. Today, what was once advantageous is now clearly detrimental; studies consistently show an increase in BMI with decreased sleep. What's more? Being overweight (BMI 25kg/m2 and higher) linearly increases our risks for chronic disease and death.
Recent research is linking sleep loss with our immune and inflammatory systems. Whole body, low-level inflammation as well as the activation of our immune system occurs after sleep loss. Furthermore, one night of recovery sleep doesn't reverse the lack of sleep the previous night; inflammatory and immune cell markers stay elevated. These inflammatory and immune cell markers do a number of things including raising our risks for heart disease and other chronic diseases. If you're an athlete and have never understood why you can't fully recover between workouts, sleep may be the answer.
What are some steps you can take to get more sleep? Naps are great! Short naps under 20 minutes will avoid a lot of the grogginess associated with longer naps. When these short naps follow coffee consumption, alertness will be even greater after the nap. Bright lights after a nap are also a good idea to avoid grogginess. Try getting into the habit of going to bed earlier. If you have problems falling asleep, it would be a good idea to avoid brighter lights (e.g. computer) before bedtime. It may be hard at first, but eventually you should be able to break your bad habits and get in more valuable sleeping time.
Sleep is a fundamental requirement for all mammals. Why? That remains a mystery. Whatever the reason, chronic sleep deprivation leads to a slew of health problems including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. By 2010, an estimated 33% of adult Americans were overweight and 36% were obese! Approximately 8.3% of Americans had diabetes and 35% fit into the pre-diabetic range. Clearly this isn't just because of lack of sleep but a variety of factors, including exercise and diet; either way, sleep plays its part. No matter how busy you are, make time for a good night's sleep! Your body will thank you for it!

What happened to the 'Canberra consensus' on Australia–China relations?
3 Jul 2019|Rod Lyon
Back in the 1990s and 2000s, Australian perceptions of the bilateral relationship with China were marked by a surprising degree of unanimity. Without implying that the clustering of opinion was confined to Australia's capital city, let's call that phenomenon the 'Canberra consensus'. It was marked by a set of shared judgments; specifically that China's rise offered a grand set of economic benefits to Australia at relatively low strategic risk. China was thought unlikely to disrupt the peaceful regional order that underpinned its own development. And a richer China would probably also be more politically pluralistic.
If we were to depict that consensus schematically, with economic opportunities on one axis and strategic risks on the other, it would look something like this:
A quick scan of the alternative quadrants of the schematic highlights the allure of the northwest one. It allows the bilateral relationship to live in an ideal world of high returns and low costs. And that's been the core of the Australian relationship with China for much of the past few decades.
But in recent years the Australia–China relationship has taken on a new level of complexity. In particular, it's been marked by a greater sense of strategic competition. China has become more assertive under President Xi Jinping. Its behaviour in the South China Sea has underlined both its growing military and paramilitary capacity and its willingness to act in defiance of the 2016 ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. Attempts to buy influence among both federal and state politicians have played poorly with Australian audiences. Chinese bids for substantial pieces of Australian infrastructure have raised questions about whether their motives are entirely commercial. And the issue of cyber-espionage and hacking has maintained a steady electronic hiss as the background noise to the broader relationship.
True, the economic relationship hasn't suffered much. Indeed, in trade terms, it remains strong, with two-way merchandise trade with China constituting 29% of our total merchandise trade. Chinese investment in Australia is down, but that's in part the result of Canberra's becoming more protective of its key infrastructure. The number of Chinese students in Australia remains high, even though that's one area where Beijing could exert easy influence.
Still, as the strategic risks associated with relationship have become more complex, the traditional Canberra consensus has broken down. Schematically, fast-rising Chinese power has smeared the usual single blob in the northwest quadrant eastward across both northern quadrants. To be precise, the smear has actually been east-south-eastwards, because the sense of economic opportunities has wilted as the sense of strategic risk has grown:
It's hard to put a specific date to the breakdown of the Canberra consensus. Certainly, when Prime Minister Tony Abbott told German Chancellor Angela Merkel in late 2014 that Australian policy towards China was driven by 'fear and greed', the consensus was already struggling—because its dominant fulcrum might better be described as 'fearless greed'. Perhaps the collapse of the consensus has something to do with the perceived waning of US unipolarity—because that was the strategic environment under which fearless greed flourished.
Still, Australian opinions about the bilateral relationship have become steadily and more sharply divided in the years since. They've also become more atomised, sparking a series of debates over whether, and to what extent, China poses a threat to Australian strategic interests. Former prime minister Paul Keating described Australia's security and intelligence mandarins as 'nutters'. Former trade minister Andrew Robb criticised the Coalition's new leaders for souring the bilateral relationship. More modestly, Peter Drysdale has urged both countries to sit down and identify their shared strategic interests—helpful, perhaps, but not in itself a recipe for the successful resolution of different strategic interests.
The broader Australian debate is now also marked by a sense of likely further downward pressure on the bilateral economic relationship. That pressure emanates from three different sources:
Australian action, similar to that already taken in relation to Huawei and 5G, which circumscribes particular areas of emerging trade or investment, or, more broadly, promotes active diversification of Australia's trade and investment portfolio
possible attempts by China to coerce Australia economically as leverage for a different set of policy outcomes
and the growing trade war and broader 'decoupling' of the US and Chinese economies that's already under way.
If we add those pressures to the schematic, it looks like this:
In short, we might soon have a debate spread across all four quadrants. The northwest quadrant remains attractive—but there's no way to get back there. The Canberra consensus is gone.

The angels want to know we also have a sense of humor and a lot of our messages are given with a sense of humor. For laughter and joy are so good for you. When using you sense of humor you feel much lighter and you feel that you may even begin to smile or laugh out loud.. We are all for laughing out loud too. It clears our mood and we feel understood, even if it is a bit silly at times. We ask you to not be afraid to let the humor come through.. We love to laugh too and laugh with you too. May your angels on the moonbeams be with you in the form of butterflies as they fly through the rainbow today. Angel blessing to all.
It's not slapstick comedy but it does make you smile. I feel they do use their sense of humor to help us keep things a bit lighter. And not to be so serious all of the time. There is a lot going on in our world, and a lot of it is very serious for us to be concerned about. I feel they like to help us not to feel all the heaviness that has been around all of us, lately.
I had asked the angels the many ways we can keep things a bit lighter for us. They had some really good ideas too, for all of us to consider.
watch comedians perform that you enjoy listening to .
Cleaning your house to music like the oldies songs.. The house will get cleaner a lot faster.
The angels state that to be in a continually depressed or blah mood is not good for anyone. Looking to partake events that lift your mood is a way to keep life in balance. The angels want to say that they love helping and seeing us smiling and laughing.. Let your inner child come through. So many of us forget what the inner child is truly like.. The inner child may be sad or angry or hurt in some way but he secretly wants to be happy, and forgiving. Let your inner child come out gracefully and let him feel what its like to laugh, and to be child like again.
The angels are not talking about being irresponsible or mean, they are talking about letting the sadness or the hurt or what is making your heart heavy to lift it with doing an activity where you find yourself smiling again.
I know for me when i am feeling heavy about something, the last thing i want to do is to be in an activities that are full of humor or being silly. So I find myself to have time for me, like reading a favourite book or listening to soothing music. or meditation for a short time. This time regroup helps me to become more of who I am and much more willing to let my inner child out a bit more.. Taking care of yourself is most important. Letting yourself laugh, a really big belly laugh makes the angels really happy because they know how happy you are.
They say to be deprived of laughter or humor can be very disheartening. They say laughter in many ways is food for the heart and humor can help you to move forward in a way that is positive for you .

To me that's a bit pricey, it's too bad that you don't have the option to deal with some of these channels independently. It seems that any company that ever made a movie now has their own streaming service Disney Paramount with all of them. Granted compared to Comcast or some of these other cable companies I guess it's better but at some point they're going to be the same!$$$


The boys will play their first regional tournament game Friday evening at 6 pm in Austin. After they win that game they will play again at noon on Saturday for the regional championship. Good luck to the boys basketball team. Go Mustangs!!!!


← Ben Fulford (and me): What's goin' on, who's doin' it, and what must WE do?
Just in case we're still wearing those rose-colored glasses . . . this is an exceptionally succinct, precise rant that made me, for one, wince.
A part of me wonders why I post Kunstler's rant. Another part of me does it anyway. Though I perform and promote permacultural solutions to the world's ills, I also realize just what country I'm living in, the good 'ol U.S.A. — NUMBER ONE! — in violence, destruction, imprisonment, obesity, militarism, materialism, student debt, etc. etc.
So, that first part of me wonders why I don't just up and leave the U.S., emigrate to some kind of primitive paradise that predatory capitalism hasn't yet ravished. (Wait a minute. Are there any?) Another part of me says no, I must stay, and witness, and participate, as one tiny, pulsing center of the transformation that many awakened and awakening souls have joined hearts and hands to perform. The miracle of being alive here, now, surrendered to the intense mystery of this regenerative Earth that embraces even unimaginable suffering, grows ever more powerful.
The authorities keep emphasizing that the nurse who caught ebola from Thomas Eric Duncan was sealed in her haz-mat suit the whole time she cared for the poor fellow and blah blah nobody knows how she could possibly catch the darn thing…. But the newspapers and cable news networks are not asking: What about all the people, ordinary civilians, that this nurse was consorting with off-work, after she took off her haz-mat suit and, let's say, at some point stopped by the Kroger Store's fabulous steam table display of take-out goodies behind the helpful and reassuring sneeze-guard on her way back home? It sounds like a new Netflix drama – The Fatal Mac and Cheese.
For the moment, I'm in Washington for a conference on population and immigration. Believe it or not there are some people who want to have an honest national conversation about these issues amid all the disingenuous chatter about "dreamers" emanating from the Oval Office in this miserable era of politics-as-spin-art. And along comes the galvanizing event of a really serious disease to finally force the issue. Nothing concentrates a nation's attention like the specter of the people next door bleeding out through their ears and noses.
Welcome to the diminishing returns of the global economy. They've been there all along, but none previously were sufficiently vivid or horrifying as ebola. The Chinese FoxConn workers throwing themselves out the factory windows in despair just seemed like some kind of fraternity prank in comparison. Now something has got loose from the Heart of Darkness like the hissing beastie that burst out of John Hurt's ribcage in Alien and water-skied out of the sick bay into the bowels of the cargo ship Nostromo. Sometimes a metaphor is just a figure of speech and sometimes it's liable to set your hair on fire.
Speaking of dreams and dreamers, that was a pretty shabby one. But here we are now up against one of the master facts of the day: our world faces epic, desperate demographic shifts as regions of it are proving to be very unfriendly to human habitation. How long do we pretend that all the refugees are welcome to come here, bleeding from their eyes and noses, as their dreams of laying sod for $6-an-hour or slaughtering chickens for the greater glory of Colonel Sanders collide with the diminishing returns of yet another Elon Musk sales pitch for the blessed denizens of Palo Alto aspiring to Godhood. I, for one, doubt that there's enough room for all of us in that much dreamed-of for-profit spacecraft soon to carry us to worlds where the black swan's wings have never cast a shadow.
Yes I get the feeling that the conveniently, contrived ebola scare has come along just in time for the big fall of our economy. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Аци́лперенося́щие белки́ (, ) — небольшие водорастворимые белки, важный компонент в биосинтезе жирных кислот и поликетидов, связывающий растущую углеродную цепь через свою простетическую группу — остаток .

Структура
Ацилпереносящие белки — сравнительно небольшие (около 80 аминокислотных остатков) отрицательно заряженные молекулы, свёрнутые в альфа-спирали и сходные в разных группах организмов по аминокислотной последовательности. Структура многих ацилпереносящих белков описана с использованием методов ядерно-магнитного резонанса и кристаллографии.

Белок экспрессируется в форме апопротеина (неактивной формы). Холопротеин (активная форма) формируется в результате переноса остатка фосфопантетеина с кофермента А на консервативный остаток серина в средней части пептидной цепи. Реакцию осуществляет 4′-фосфопантетеинтрансфераза — синтаза голо-ацилпереносящих белков.

4′-Фосфопантетеин — необходимая простетическая группа ряда ацилпереносящих белков, вовлечённых в пути первичного и вторичного метаболизма, включая ацилпереносящие белки синтаз жирных кислот и поликетидсинтаз (а также пептидилпереносящие и арилпереносящие белки синтетазы нерибосомных пептидов). Связывание субстрата осуществляется через богатую энергией тиоэфирную связь (с остатком тиоэтаноламина в составе фосфопантетеина).

Большая длина и гибкая структура простетической группы позволяет связанному с ней субстрату достигать различных активных сайтов в пределах мультиэнзимных комплексов (например, синтазы жирных кислот I типа), что увеличивает эффективную концентрацию концентрацию субстрата и позволяет осуществлять процесс синтеза в режиме «сборочной линии».

Родственные белки
Ацилпереносящие белки сходны по структуре и механизму работы с пептидилпереносящими белками синтетаз нерибосомных пептидов.

Easy Spanish: Watching a Mexican TV series
Home » Blog » Easy Spanish: Watching a Mexican TV series
If you want to explore the Spanish language better and learn it faster, then try watching a Mexican television show. Compared to Colombian and Peruvian Spanish, Mexican Spanish has a neutral accent which makes it easier to understand and follow. Add to that, Mexican actors do speak the language slowly with lots of body and facial messages to make you comprehend what's going on in the show easily.
Mexico has a number of TV shows, but probably the most famous are telenovelas. A limited-run TV serial novel, telenovelas are quite popular in Latin America. The word is a combination of the words "tele" which is a shortened term for television and "novela" which means "novel" in Spanish and is also often associated to medium-span romances in Latin literary studies.
Mexican telenovela sub-genres
Telenovelas of Mexico are often traditional, and most often than not fall under the following sub-genres.
The first sub-genre of the telenovelas in the country is the working class melodrama. Containing less explicit messages, this sub-genre is easy to understand. Commonly, this sub-genre features a poor woman who eventually falls in love with a rich man of whom the man's family does not favor. One hit telenovela under this genre is "Maria la del Barrio" which aired in 1995.
Another sub-genre is the historical romance which is set in the past (e.g. the colonial period, late 19th Century), while the teen drama portrays the lives of high school teens and the issues they are dealing with, like drugs, sex, and coming-of-age.
Pop band story is one sub-genre of telenovelas too playing the lives of musicians-wanna-be.
In the country, the largest producer – and also exporter – of telenovelas is Televisa who discovered a mine in selling their produced shows to other countries, particularly in Eastern Europe.
While they are entertaining, telenovelas will also bring you a better understanding, not to mention "models" on correctly speaking Spanish, thus making your learning faster and easier.

plumpudding: Metal Tooling and Father's Day: Not For Daddy To Read!
Metal Tooling and Father's Day: Not For Daddy To Read!
Yesterday we attempted Mexican Metal Tooling. This is a really fun and unique project. I think children older than mine will enjoy it more and could turn out more complicated and colorful designs, but mine did help create this nice little hanging for their daddy's office.
I love the look of the added beads on these other great examples of metal tooling (here at Pepper Paints via The Crafty Crow and here at Kinderart), but we thought it was a little much given the limited display space of a cubicle. Maybe another time.
See those sites for easy-to-follow tutorials for making your own metal art.
Note: We included foil circles created by tracing around a tin can and added the foil banner at the top to customize it for Father's Day. Our subject matter includes meaningful images relating to my children and their personalities or experiences with their dad.
I love this idea! This will look great in Roy's office!
And I love the outdoor painting you've been doing. I'll have to get in the swing of things too and do something besides chalk outside.
Awesome, Megan, as is typical for you guys. I'm wondering, did you use the aluminum baking pans as described in the link, or did you use heavy-duty aluminum foil, or...??
Can't wait to get my paws on this project!
Hey Susie! We did use the baking pans-the cookie sheet size so we had more flat area to use for drawing and less crinkly side waste. It was sort of spur of the moment so I didn't research to find the heaviest aluminum foil. I bet your girls will like doing this!


If you are having problems with AM/FM reception, you may be considering replacing your factory antenna. You will quickly discover that aftermarket antennas that mount in the same location and have the same slim design as the factory antennas perform about the same. If you want a real performance upgrade, you should consider Firestik AM/FM antennas.


Former hosts of the wildly popular "Fixer Upper" series, Joanna and Chip Gaines stopped by "Today" this morning to talk about two firsts: her first cookbook, which comes out today, and his first marathon, which will also be Waco's first marathon, slated for May 6.
Joanna's book is already a bestseller, and it features dozens of recipes from the family cupboard and some from the couple's new Magnolia Table restaurant in Waco. "The Magnolia Table" feels like a mash-up of Ree Drummond, Deb Perelman and Lisa Fain, featuring the Pioneer Woman's unapologetic enthusiasm for family cooking and the farm life, the Smitten Kitchen blogger's mastery of filtered light and elegant food styling and the Homesick Texan's passion for Lone Star foodways.
Chip's upcoming race came from a desire to run a marathon, but when they realized Waco didn't have a marathon, they decided to host one. The Silo District Marathon on May 6 already has 5,000 registrants, he said during the live interview this morning, but when the conversation turned to Joanna's fifth pregnancy, the beloved "Fixer Upper" star nearly ruined the segment with comments about how he "always dated slightly bigger boned girls" before marrying her. Amid awkward laughter and a "How did we get to this?" comment, the hosts, Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin, changed the subject, but Chip loved the body comparison so much he made it again at the close of the interview.
You can find the recipes for Joanna's chicken pot pie, biscuits, scalloped potatoes on the "Today" show's website. You can watch the segment here.

NEW MUSIC: This is CONDUITS »
STEELE INTERVIEWS: Stephie Coplan of Stephie Coplan and The Pedestrians
Stephie Coplan (vocals/piano)
John F. Herbert (bass)
Shane Considine (drums)
From: NYC
Debut EP out now
Sound: piano rock trio
Plucky, creative, dark yet upbeat
Voice reminds me a lot of Suzanne Vega
I interviewed Stephie recently.
Amy Steele (AS): You started playing classical piano at a young age. What did you like about it?
Stephie Coplan (SC): I did! I started playing when I was 8. I really loved playing Brahms, Ravel and Rachmaninoff – – to this day, they are my favorite composers. All three are incredible at expression emotion and telling a story without using lyrics. Chopin has a gorgeous piece called the Raindrop Prelude that mimics the sound of rain falling on a window pane as a constant backdrop throughout the piece – playing that piece as a little girl was the first time I ever thought about using music (as opposed to lyrics) as a way to tell stories. Rachmaninoff in particular tends to write very thunderous, emotional, brooding pieces. If anyone reading this has been to one of our live shows, they know how much I love banging on the keys, especially in the lower register. Rachmaninoff gave me a chance to do that at a very young age and I have him to thank for my 10-note hand span (although I have very large hands to begin with, like that girl from the "Seinfeld" episode with the "man hands"…what can I say, I'm blessed.)
AS: How did you transition from classical music to pop/rock?
SC: Broadway and show tunes were sort of the bridge. My mom was a theater major in college and when I started playing piano, I usually split my time practicing classical pieces that my teacher gave me with Broadway show tunes that my mom slipped on the piano stand (whoops…how did those get there?) I only listened to pop music from the 40s and 50s (the Rat Pack, Peggy Lee, Doris Day, etc.) until I was about 11 so I have an encyclopedic knowledge of music from that era. I discovered FM radio in fifth grade, which is when I heard my first Top 40 song (I think it was "Foolish Games" by Jewel) and three years later, started writing my own pop songs. I heard The Beatles for the first time when I was 14. Weird, right? It's like I'm Amish or something.
AS: At Tufts what did you study?
SC: Philosophy. I only took two music classes, Contemporary Concert Music (John Cage, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, etc) and Psychology of Music. I played piano in the pit orchestra for a lot of our musicals, though.
AS: How did you develop a following in Boston?
SC: I hung out at a lot of local music venues like TOAD, the Lizard Lounge and the Burren and became part of a very large group of songwriters. The music scene in Cambridge/Somerville is very supportive of newcomers – it's a unique group of people and I miss them a lot now that I live in Hoboken.
AS: How did the group get together?
SC: Craigslist. The casual encounters section. No, just kidding. It was Craigslist, though. Craigslist is very hit-or-miss but the three of us ended up becoming best friends. I don't think any of us remember that we actually met on the Internet – it feels like we met in a much more organic way because we get along so well and love playing together. They are the two best musicians in New York City and I can't wait until we're touring full-time so I can be around them all the time. (Famous last words…?)
AS: What is your songwriting process like?
SC: It's different every time, but usually I noodle around on the piano until I find a few chords that I like. I try to write the hook first, and build the rest of the song around that. Sometimes I'll invent a character in my head and write about that person, or I'll look up people on Facebook who make me feel very strong emotions (like my ex or my best friend or whatever) and stare at their picture until lyrics come out. I guess everyone is going to unfriend me now.
AS: What inspires you to write songs?
SC: I really like wordplay. It's so much fun. I'm most excited to write songs when I can make clever rhymes – I wrote a pretty shitty song once called "Is Anyone on the Internet Tonight?" about online dating. It was a terrible song but I rhymed "breakfast" with "Netflix" and "vegetarian" with "aquarium" and gave my reflection a high-five in the mirror because I was so proud of myself.
AS: Let's talk about a few of the songs.
What's the story behind "Take Me Back to the Suburbs?"
SC: I moved from Boston to Hoboken to work at a non-profit deep in the heart of Newark. About two weeks in to the new job, I was walking to the bus after work and a police officer stopped me and interrogated me on the street. I thought he was kidding at first, but it quickly became apparent that he thought I was a drug kingpin. Go ahead, laugh. I am a little oblivious when I walk around sometimes, and apparently I had walked right by a drug deal – definitely a "wrong place wrong time" scenario. He thought I was involved and searched my bag and ran a background check on me while I stood on the sidewalk crying hysterically in pink sunglasses and a corduroy jumper. I finally convinced him that I was not a drug lord – just a nerdy white girl from the suburbs. I asked him for a ride to the train station since he made me miss my bus, but he told me that I'd have to ride in his car with the drug dealers so I walked instead. When I got home, I wrote that song.
AS: "JERK" is a great single. Bold and provocative. How did you write this one?
SC: Thanks! It's a true story – I was seeing a really hot guy who played a lot of mind games with me. He told me that he cared about me, but wouldn't take me on a single date. He wouldn't even buy me a cup of coffee. He just invited me to his fancy apartment to watch TV and hook up. It's a story that's all too common, unfortunately. I stayed in that "relationship" (if you can even call it that) for way too long but at least I learned an important lesson about dignity and self-respect. "JERK!" was originally a slow, bluesy striptease-y type song but ended up turning into a hate sex anthem when we went to the studio to record it.
AS: What influenced "Make You Mine?"
SC: Oh boy. That's the most personal song on the EP, by far. It's about a guy I was in love with for a very long time, someone I truly thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I found out that he cheated on me with two different people – he even flew 3000 miles to cheat on me with a girl in Portland, Oregon once (hence the Portland reference in the second verse). We broke up for about a year and saw other people while I sorted out my feelings. I wrote "Make You Mine" when I decided to take him back – it's a song about finding the strength and resilience to forgive someone who has cheated on you and let them back into your heart. Predictably, he cheated on me again with someone else right after I took him back, so we broke up again. I haven't talked to him in over a year, and don't plan to ever again. Every time I play that song live, I am reminded that you can't make someone love you, no matter how hard you try.
AS: What has happened since the video for Jerk went viral and caught the attention of many critics?
SC: "Viral" is a relative term! I guess it went viral on some level – I know a ton of people posted it and re-posted it on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, etc. We've been making a lot of new fans, which has been great. I love connecting with people from all over the country on Facebook. I love hearing that they can relate to the song. It makes me feel like I've done my job as a songwriter. The popularity of the video has caught the attention of a few internet and college stations around the country, which has been really exciting and surreal.
AS: Tell me what happened with Paul Driscoll and WFNX.
SC: The night we posted the video, a fan saw it on Facebook, tracked me down, and suggested that I send it to Paul at FNX. He said that Paul had a reputation for getting behind new music and that based on his taste, he would probably really like "JERK!" I sent Paul a message and told him that we had just put up a new single that a lot of people seemed to like, and that it would be awesome if he listened to it. I didn't expect to hear back because getting radio play is typically much more complicated than just sending your song to a station. I was shocked when he wrote back in 15 minutes and said that he had listened to it three times in a row and wanted an MP3 immediately. I screamed like a wild animal, called Shane (since he is from Boston too and loves FNX as much as I do) and spazzed out like a pro.
AS: How are things different live than what people hear recorded?
SC: It's not very different! We play more solos live, but other than that, I think we sound pretty close to the recordings. There was very little "studio magic" used on us – we just did a bunch of takes until we got everything right.
AS: What do you think makes a good song?
SC: GREAT question. I could talk about this for days. I think a good song makes you think, or makes you feel. I am personally always a fan of songs that tell very vivid stories or breathe life into characters – that's why I'm such a huge fan of Fountains of Wayne, who are experts at that. If I can't tell what a song is about, I get bored. I know some songwriters like to leave their songs open to interpretation but…I don't know, I sort of think that's bullshit. For me personally, anyway. I think if it's not clear what you're trying to say, then you haven't said it very well. The songs that hit me the hardest are the ones that can get me to relate to them in very specific and meaningful ways – Taylor Swift, Amber Rubarth, and Alanis Morissette are particularly excellent songwriters in that regard, I think.
AS: What are the biggest challenges for musicians today?
SC: THERE ARE SO MANY. Where to begin? I think the biggest one is making a living. With the advent of digital piracy, CD sales are no longer a viable means of collecting income – CDs have really become more like a business card than anything else. It's an honor every time someone buys one of our albums because I know it's not just a five-dollar purchase – it's a statement. They're saying that they believe in us, and it means the world to me every time someone gives us their hard-earned money for something that they could just stream online for free. On the other hand, while the Internet has destroyed the music business in a lot of ways, it has also made it possible for artists like us to make hundreds of new fans and effortlessly keep in touch with them. Before e-mail lists, musicians had to send out postcards to their fans every time they had a gig coming up. The bigger their fan base got, the more expensive their postage became. At least we don't have to worry about that anymore.
AS: As a woman do you run into unique challenges?
Actually, being a woman has given me a large advantage, I think. Alternative radio is heavily male-dominated so being a woman is an automatic easy way to stand out. That being said, I think because I'm a woman playing music in a historically male genre, people expect me to have a feminist "girl power" agenda, but I don't. I'm not Alanis or Fiona or Tori. I'm not bruised or battered and I don't really have anything to prove. I'm just honest, and I hope that people can, for the most part, separate my sexuality from my music when they listen to it.
AS: Your debut EP comes out soon and you're going on tour. What goals do you have now?
SC: Yes, we'll be hitting Hoboken on January 26, DC on February 4, and releasing our EP in Boston on February 18. Our goals for 2012 are to hopefully hear "JERK!" on more stations and be touring full-time by the end of the year. Wish us luck…

Thrown In (foaled 1916) was a British racehorse who won the 1927 Cheltenham Gold Cup. He won several other races but failed in two attempts at the Grand National.

Background
Thrown In was a chestnut gelding bred in England. He was the only horse of any consequence sired by Beau Bill, a son of the Ascot Gold Cup winner William the Third. His dam Va Largo was a descendant of the successful broodmare Elf.

Racing career
Thrown In was originally owned by Fred Gunt before being acquired by G. Sanday for whom he won seven races before being bought by Lord Stalbridge for £1000 in 1925. After being gelded he was sent to the stable of Owen Anthony who trained for Stalbridge at Pounds Farm at Eastbury in Berkshire. Anthony had been a successful amateur jockey before taking up training and winning the 1922 Grand National with Music Hall. Thrown In won a further seven races as well as finishing seventh in the 1926 Grand National. In the same year Stalbridge reportedly turned down an offer of 4000 guineas from America for the gelding.

In the fourth running of the Cheltenham Gold Cup on 9 March 1927 he was ridden by his owner's son Hugh Grosvenor, a relatively inexperienced amateur who was recovering from a broken collar bone. The favourite was Silvo, the winner of the Grand Steeplechase de Paris who started at odds of 13/8 ahead of Amberwave and the five-year-old Grakle with Thrown In starting a 10/1 outsider in an eight-runner field. After Amberwave fell early in the contest, the race was dominated by Thrown In, Grakle and Silvo before the favourite began to struggle two fences out. Thrown In outjumped Grakle at the final fence and drew away to win by two lengths. Just over two weeks after his win in the Gold Cup, Thrown In started 100/8 third favourite for the 1927 Grand National but fell early in the race.

Thrown In was sold again at the end of the 1927 season and was exported to Denmark. Hugh Grosvenor, who rode him to his greatest success, was killed in an air crash in January 1930.

Assessment and honours
In their book, A Century of Champions, based on the Timeform rating system, John Randall and Tony Morris rated Thrown In a "poor" Gold Cup winner.

Pedigree

Thrown In was inbred 4 × 4 to Galopin and Wisdom, meaning that both of these stallion appears twice in the fourth generation of his pedigree.

Q: This code is saying my PHP sessions are not enabled, but phpinfo says they are I'm working through troubleshooting PHP sessions. I have the following code:
// Start Session
           session_start();
           // Show banner
           echo 'Session Support Checker
';
           // Check if the page has been reloaded
           if(!isset($_GET['reload']) OR $_GET['reload'] != 'true') {
              // Set the message
              $_SESSION['MESSAGE'] = 'Session support enabled!
';
              // Give user link to check
              echo 'Click HERE to check for PHP Session Support.
';
           } else {
              // Check if the message has been carried on in the reload
              if(isset($_SESSION['MESSAGE'])) {
                 echo $_SESSION['MESSAGE'];
              } else {
                 echo 'Sorry, it appears session support is not enabled, or you PHP version is to old. Click HERE to go back.
';
              }
           }

This code returns session support is not enabled. However, when running
phpinfo();

Sessions return true.
So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or right. Is there a better/easier or more definitive way to test for sessions?

We all know the Buddha's basic story. Although his father tried to protect Siddhartha, prince of the Gautama Clan, from anything unpleasant (dukkha), the young man ventured out from the palace and witnessed old age, sickness, and death. He also encountered a spiritual seeker trying to learn how to escape the endless cycle of dukkha.
Siddhartha left his wife and newborn son, and the hedonistic ways of palace life, to live instead as a spiritual seeker, renouncing possessions and begging for his sustenance. He followed some of the leading gurus of his day, plunging for a while into severe self-deprivation. Then, through meditation and introspection, he came up with his own spiritual path, which he called the Middle Way, avoiding the extremes of hedonism and deprivation.
Now as the Buddha (the awakened one), he taught non-attachment: Don't cling to pleasure or pain, and don't cling to the avoidance of pleasure or pain. By clinging, you bring dukkha on yourself. By meditating, living mindfully and wisely, and acting with compassion, you take control of your own mind and your own mood.
Buddhists often say that old age, illness and death are certainties, and we'll avoid dukkha by understanding that. But old age is not a constant. Many of us don't live long enough to get there, and others live there for much of their lives. While there's some dispute over how much lifespans have changed over the millenniums (yes, that's the correct plural), there's no question that many more of us today do experience old age.
In the United States, some 10,000 baby boomers retire every day, and if we have reached retirement age (mid 60's), it's likely that we'll live on average another 20 years. About one in ten of us have another third of our lives to live. It's widely accepted that few of us have planned adequately for the financial consequences of our lengthy old age, and I'd add that few of us are prepared emotionally and spiritually.
Among my spiritually aware friends in their 40's, 50's and 60's, I've begin to notice an ability to let go of clinging to their false hopes for themselves, but an inability to let go of thinking that their children should live pain-free lives. (I know I'll never win a Nobel Prize, but if only my child takes that physics class...)That means more dukkha for my friends and their children.
During my decade in the financial services industry, I often told parents not to be so attached to funding the accounts for their children's education that they failed to put enough into their retirement plans. Now my spiritual advice is the same.
Financially, if you spend your retirement years broke and hungry, your children will feel the strain — never sure whether they are doing enough for you. You may encourage them to let go, but they may not be able to.
If you spend your 40's, 50's and 60's grasping for the life you want your children to lead, you will plunge into greater dukkha for yourself and encourage your children to do the same.
There's a reason why, on airplanes, they tell you to put an oxygen mask on your own face before you put one on your child's. You will do your child more good if you are calm and at peace with yourself.
The compassionate thing to do is to start with yourself. Be a good example. Take care of yourself by not clinging to your children's future or your own.
Thanks Mel this is good advice for me, I can use this as a new parent.
You won't find it easy, but it's worth embroidering.
Oh man, I needed that, I haven laughed so hard in a few days. That's a good one.

Statistical features of images are crucial to discrimination of visual textures and image segmentation.
We compared the strength of different statistical cues and tested simple models for how they are processed.
Stimuli consisted of four arrays of black and white checks. In three of the arrays, checks were colored at random; in the fourth array ("the target"), a statistical bias was introduced in local first-order statistics (the number of white checks), local fourth-order statistics (the "even" texture), or in long-range correlations (bilateral symmetry). Each kind of bias was introduced in a graded fashion. Each array subtended 2.7 deg and was centered 4 deg from fixation. The number of checks in each array ranged from 6×6 to 16×16.
Subjects (N=7) were asked (100 ms presentation, 4-AFC without feedback) to identify the target.
For targets that were distinguished by their local statistics, 75% correct performance was achieved with sub-maximal levels of statistical structure. For targets that were distinguished by bilateral symmetry, performance never exceeded approximately 50% correct even with maximal statistical structure.
Some subjects showed a modest implicit priming effect when the target was in the same location on consecutive trials, suggesting a covert direction of attention by the statistically anomalous target.
Conditions with greater statistical structure (and greater fraction correct) were associated with shorter reaction times, but reaction times did not show a corresponding priming effect. We constructed a model (for fraction correct) consisting of detection, pooling, and decision stages. Discriminations based on local statistics were well fit by this model. There was a striking difference in the local detection stage between first-order and higher-order statistics, but similar pooling and decision stages. Performance for discriminations based on symmetry could not be fit in a satisfactory fashion by models of this simple structure.

Linear friction welding of AISI 316L stainless steel
Imran Bhamji, Michael Preuss, Philip L. Threadgill, Richard J. Moat, Adrian C. Addison, Matthew J. Peel
Linear friction welding is a solid state joining process established as a niche technology for the joining of aeroengine bladed disks. However, the process is not limited to this application, and therefore the feasibility of joining a common engineering austenitic steel, AISI 316L, has been explored. It was found that mechanically sound linear friction welds could be produced in 316L, with tensile properties in most welds exceeding those of the parent material. The mechanical properties of the welds were also found to be insensitive to relatively large changes in welding parameters. Texture was investigated in one weld using high energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Results showed a strong {1. 1. 1}(1. 1. 2.) type texture at the centre of the weld, which is a typical shear texture in face centre cubic materials. Variations in welding parameters were seen to have a significant impact on the microstructures of welds. This was particularly evident in the variation of the fraction of delta ferrite, in the thermo-mechanically affected zone of the welds, with different process parameters. Analysis of the variation in delta ferrite, with different welding parameters, has produced some interesting insights into heat generation and dissipation during the process. It is hoped that a greater understanding of the process could help to make the parameter optimisation process, when welding 316L as well as other materials, more efficient.
